I´ve always heard from older people that experience does make lots of difference in different fields of life! Today I´ve discovered it myself ! I made those cupcakes maybe 2 years ago & took a picture of them, the cupcakes never tasted that wonderful, they were Good (I thought they were) but now with some minor modifications & some few more baking skills , they turned to be AWESOME! Hope you´ll all try them, they are fluffy, moist & Delicious & will fill your house with that gorgeous lemon zest smell!

I had some special guests today in the house & I was planning to do fish as a main dish & instead of doing the ordinary Rice beside it ,I decided to do the very easy 10 minutes Shrimp Spaghetti dish, here´s how it´s easily done!

I bought some Figs today & I thought they were as sweet as the beautifull Egyptian ones! Unfortunately they weren´t :( that wasn´t really bad because I decided to do Salad with them & they were pretty good for Salad. I only did the Fig Salad with 3 ingredients+ the 3 ingredients dressing & it was just perfect for an afternoon snack!Here´s how I did it!

Marinade the chicken in Olive oil & spices and leave for 3-4 hours.
Enter preheated oven for 15 minutes then turn the chicken breasts on the other side for another 15 minutes.
During the baking process , pour the juices coming out of the Chicken over it (every 10 minutes).

In a sunny afternoon, I thought of doing a light-fresh cool dessert, I had some remaining vanilla cupcakes, cream chesse, ready made whiped cream & a jar of Clementine, so I came up with this yummmmy dessert!

Preparation:
Peel the apples & cut them into slices.
In a pan over high heat, add apples,sugar,butter & cinnamon & stir for 3-4 minutes. Then drain the apples & keep the sauce aside.
Roll out the Pastry sheets to a size larger then the tart form size.
Put the rolled out dough in the Tart form then put the drained apples on top.
Enter preheated oven (200°C) for 10-15 minutes.
Remove from oven & pour the apple sauce over your tart to give it a nice glaze.

Put Köfte in a pan that can be covered & bring a piece of coal & heat it then put an onion cortex with some butter in the middle over the meat (you make a groove inside the meat with your fingers & lay the onion cortex inside it) then put the heated piece of coal inside the butter ,you will find smoke coming out of the heated piece of coal , then close firmly the pan for 30 minutes.

Peaches-Raspberries Cake.
Fruit Cakes are my favourite, today I decided to do anything with Raspberries before it totally disappears from stores :) my choice was this simple & easy, yet elegant Cake, What I had at home was a jar of Peaches & I decided to include it in the Cake content & it was simply Perfect!

In June 2012 I read about a competition about Germany´s best fruit Cake in a magazine called "Bild Der Frau", It was Berries season & I´m a Berries lover! so I decided to do a cake filled with Berries AND creamcheese,sourcream & whippingcream,as I love the mixture between the sour taste of sour cream & the creamy mild taste of whipping cream & cream cheese, & Guess what! I WON! It was an amazing surprise to find the post man knocking my door with my Braun Multiquick 7 prize!! Here´s my winning recipie, hope you ALL like it :-)

*whipp the whippingcream, & add the sugar to it ,then add the creamcheese-sourcream mixture.

Decorate the cake :
put the first layer of sponge cake & pour 3-4 Table spoons juice then cover with 1/2 the cream & 1/2 the berries , then add the other half of sponge cake & pour the rest of the juice then cream then berries.
